GALLERY NOTES
THE MEMORIAL ART GALLERY
OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ROCHESTER
Vol. 30, No. 6, April-May, 1965
RENAISSANCE PORTRAIT
A FIFTEENTH CENTURY marble portrait has
been given to the Gallery as a memorial to the
late Inez D'Amanda Barnell by a group of her
friends. Mrs. Barnell, who died last May 19,
was a sculptor who began her art training at
the Gallery under the late William Ehrich. Her
interest in the Gallery was great, and at the
time of her death she was a member of its
Women's Council. Her sculpture and drawings
have been shown in a number of exhibitions,
including the Finger Lakes show here.
The portrait is thought to be of a member of the
Corsini family and is attributed to Matteo de'
Pasti, who lived from around 1420 to 1467. He
came from Verona, and, like so many men of
his time, worked in many fields--as an architect, medalist, and illuminator as well as a
sculptor. The piece was shown at the Gallery
last year in the " Renaissance Vignettes" exhibition. With it and the bronze head by Tacca,
the collection of Renaissance secular art--so
long overshadowed by religious examples --
comesinto excellent focus and balance.

Attributed to Matteo de' Pasti
RED LETTER DAYS
AS ALWAYS, the enclosed Gallery calendar includes a variety of entries of more
than usual interest. Among the events we'd like to call to your attention is a travelogue on Sunday, April 11, to be presented by Cutler Coulson, well-travelled lecturer
who has spent considerable time in the Far East. His talk on the city of Angkor is
titled " Temples in a Land of Tempest." William Salomone, professor of European
history at the University of Rochester, will close the Monday Lectures' Italian series
April 19 with an examination of "Culture and Conscience: The Genius of Italy in Historical Perspective." An authority on the Dead Sea scrolls, J. A. Sanders, professor at Colgate Rochester Divinity School, will lecture on " The Dead Sea Psalm
Scroll: Its Discovery and Contents" Wednesday evening, May 19. Another of the
concerts featuring oboist William Erbland and the Holy Rosary Choir is scheduled
for Sunday afternoon, April 25. This one is entitled "Praise Him with Voice and Reed."
GALLERY OPEN WEEKDAYS 10 A.M. TO 5 P.M.—-SUNDAYS 2 TO 5:30 P.M. ADMISSION FREE
